Princess Agents (2017)

Princess Agents was my first cdrama, and I have to say, I was impressed. Not only did X’inger totally deliver as a badass female lead, but the setting and political intrigue kept me on the edge of my seat. Both the music and the acting were incredible, and this drama is a must-watch in my book.  I enjoyed how multiple male characters were vying for the female lead’s affections, giving it a reverse-harem vibe that I completely loved. I enjoyed how the second female lead was a well-rounded character, and not just there for the audience to hate on, but was someone that could actually  relate to.
  Please watch this drama!

This drama needs season 2 ASAP! If you are more of a romance-genre type, this isn't the drama for you. You won't get much on the romance part because it focuses more on its action-packed scenes, martial arts skills, political disputes, revenge, war etc...BUT you'll always anticipate the interaction between Yuwen Yue & Xing'er (i like Xing'er better lol). I was even torn between Yuwen Yue & Yan Xun but as episodes goes by you'll eventually realize who deserves her better. Ah! There's also Deng Lun! I like his character here...very sweet, charismatic, handsome & kinda funny. Maggie Huang is also here and an expert in her villainess role again although its quite manageable unlike her character in Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms (as Su Jin).
All in all, I enjoyed it and its worth a try.

It starts off at good pace and the storytelling gets interesting until the second half. It paces so fast and we don’t know what happened to some minor characters. It looks like the director and team waste great potential with dragging episodes. It doesn’t have heavy romance moments until episode 44. I am so disappointed about the ending as it leaves open ending to the second season but it seems to be empty ending to me. I guess the novel is not finished after reading some people's comments, and I think the director wants to allow us to have our own imagination on how the story ends. I check and find out that it have yet to receive the second season this year. It is not necessary to have rushed ending and there are too many things left unanswered after the ending of the final episode. I really hope it will have second season with same characters next year. The main actress Zhao Li Yang is an awesome and beautiful, and she have an excellent job as acting. The main characters and few minor characters have a good job as controlling emotion in acting. Princess Agents is one of my favorite Chinese drama I’ve watched so far. I am most disappointed that we don’t get to see the full potential of Chu Qiao at all. Overall, it is very great drama and I fully enjoy it so far. I give it a 9 because of bad, empty ending, and the story is unfinished and ends on a cliffhanger in the final episode.

An excellent drama all around. Total emotional investment in all of the characters to the end - just cried at the end then felt I had sipped a half of cup of water. Allhough I have given a high rating I feel cheated -- it is a story that deserved at least closure which was absent. In my heart I believe it was a drama that has a planned season 2 -- which could be successful if the same actors or actresses can continue in their roles. The cinematographyt was excellent and stage sets were perfect. I would rewatch because the story ws complex and attention to detail in the story telling is important to maintain a flow at some points. I usually rate dramas lower when there is an incomplete feeling at the end or a rushed ending. However, even with this feeling it was just a tremendous experience that I looked forward to each day. I will miss it and I will wait for the 2nd part if it is every produced- hopefully with the same quality.

Thanks to everyone who said this isn’t The Legend of Shen Li

My husband I survived 3 episodes and we decided that we can’t go on. Did they give her six siblings so they could kill them one by one? My husband said, “What a joyless collection of characters “. It starts off with a group of nobles killing young female slaves for sport and then it continues on with the rich and powerful people using the slaves and commoners. After watching the last episode it looks like only Niu Jun Feng’ s character truly changes.
This story is not for us. We’re going to go back to enjoying Zhao Li Ying and Li Geng Xin in TLOSL .

Incredibile! manca il finale! uno scandalo!

Un bellissimo drama buttato alle ortiche per essere stato troncato di netto, dopo ben 58 episodi!
Quando pensi che le cose inizino a risolversi e ad avere risposte a tanti fatti ancora irrisolti, si interrompe brutalmente!
Una vergogna vera e propria nei confronti degli utenti soprattutto ma anche del cast nella sua interezza che tanto ha dato per questa storia cosi complessa.
E a quanto pare non c'è speranza che vi sia un secondo drama, sono passati troppi anni e non ho letto nessuna notizia a tal proposito.
Se uno vuol sapere come andrà a finire non rimane che leggere la novel in lingua inglese (se lo conosce) fin dal principio, dal momento che il drama ricalca la storia a grandi linee ma non è esattamente uguale al libro.
Assurdo.
Per ciò che riguarda quanto visto, che dire.. la storia è affascinante e fin dal primo episodio molto intrigante, Più volte è un drama a tinte forti, basti pensare alla caccia all'uomo. Si concede poco romanticismo, anche se aleggia dietro le quinte per tutto il tempo.
Qui abbiamo ben tre protagonisti, ognuno ben caratterizzato e molto ben interpretato dagli attori principali che ho ammirato tutto il tempo.
Il drama improvvisamente si illumina quando compare il principe ereditario interpretato da Deng Lung, un cameo stupendo.
Sono state utilizzate molte comparse, molti cavalli, belle locations e costumi apprezzabili, la ost mediocre. Si presume quindi un drama con un buon budget, e non capisco perchè buttarlo via cosi con un finale tronco il quale non si può neanche definire "aperto".
Non ho voglia di dilungarmi oltre perché sono arrabbiata.
Quindi NON lo consiglio, Senza una fine è inutile guardarlo.
Peccato.
